.475 Cooper. Designed and tested my me, built by L. Cooper (no longer in business). Was designed to fit six rounds in, and not blow up a rechambered Ruger cylinder. J. Taffin did an article on it several years ago in American Handgunner Mag. I have 2 revolvers, though one is not fully completed both...

I am surprised nobody mentioned Unique's great ability in the .45 ACP if you want some hard hitting loads. I saw an article recently by John Taffin about using it to push 250 - 255 grain cast to over 950 fps in a Springfield XD-45. I have used Unique since the early 1970's to push the same Lyman 250...

Yes; those plastic bullets can be re-used. However, they are more powerful that most people believe. A hit at the wrong place can be fatal to many creatures; possibly even a human.
That said, they are great fun when used properly. Thay can also be wonderfully accurate.
Grace and Peace.

Thanks for sharing. Loved the pics.
I received one of those short little stainless SBH's in the early 90's and it has become my favorite .44 revolver. May Santa (or his helper) be kind to you this Christmas!

Jim;
Thanks - again.
Your story is wonderful - and it reminds me of my own 1966 Christmas; my fourth Christmas away from family while in the Navy. My Christmas that year was much different; yet, for me it remains one of the most memorable.

Jim;
Thanks for the opportunity. Nice site!
Thanks for Saturday and Sunday.

Agreed - and that was the point of my post.

May the pilot be as blessed in his faith as the father.

How 'bout; Not too subtle, yet powerful. Kinda like a .500 S&W Derringer!?!?!?

This is starting to sound like fun. Duh; when is shooting not fun??
Anyway, I want to be there. Gotta talk with Momma. She has been a bit on the down side for a while now. Who knows, she just might push me out the door to get rid of me for a while!

Will get back to y'all.

Congrats, my friend!
As you well know, the birth of a child is a gift from God. The birth of twins must be at least 8 or 16 times greater blessings.

Thanks to each of you. Sorry it took so long to get back on line, but time has been a few hours short each day, it seems. Hope to be able to return to some regular posting soon.

OK, here is the answer - the rear sight blade is taller than other Blackhawks or some Superblackhawks. I just need to get a lower one from Ruger. :D Or, hold the top of the front sight half way up the notch. Actually, I have owned several Blackhawk variants that had a too tall or too short REAR sig...

A Korean War vet friend got his several medals from defending a site with his .30 carbine. Harry always said of it, "If you put the bullets where they belong, it does its job." He is right. Also, in equal strength firearms, there is no difference in the .30 Car and .32-20 in performance. I...

Voted for the .357 because of the capabilities of that round in a good carbine. It is a fine shooter and fun for plinking. It is excellent for home defense and for hunting. It gives great performance with little recoil so it can be used by almost any shooter. While I never would expect the .30 Carbi...

Yup! Pendry sure got it right!

Mokwaw, my friend;
Sure sounds nice to me. Tell you what; just give the guy his asking price and if you don't like it always remember. it is not a total loss. I will gladly give you half your money back!

Thanks for the post. I feel like it has enabled me to, philosophically, "Drink Upstream From The Herd."

Since you took all my favorites (.44, .357, .30-30), I ain't gonna pick another!

Top choice, IMHO, is a .44 Mag for caliber and one of the Winchester 1892's that are being re-created now days for model. Again, IMHO, it is the most versatile of all calibers. It can be used for varmints to elk with many stops in between. If you want a challenge for varmints try PD's at 2-300 yards...

This handgun looks like the .45-70 revolver that has been in production several times over they years. The advertisement even sounded familiar. It has been made here in Indiana, in the Evansville area. I believe it was produced here (in Indiana) by more than one manufacturer. A man who was selling o...

I, also give a + to John Linebaugh's information. In conversation he told me something to the effect; "If you can't kill it with a 250-255 SWC .45 at 900 to 950 fps, you shouldn't be shooting it." I have believed that for many years now. I believe it is true for the .44, also. Truth is, he...

I am pleased to see so much action on the Martini. Decided to make another post. I have owned many Martinis over the years. It is one of my favorite actions. I have only one at this time. It is a .30-20. I used a Remington .308 barrel, had the chamber end removed and re-chambered with a .30-20 reame...

PPpastordon

Single actions have had "small" sight adjustments made by bending the blade. For a small adjustment, the barrel can be held in a padded vice and the blade "tapped" with a small, smooth faced, brass hammer. Ain't hard, so don't hit it too hard!

Model55; The Cadet is one of my favorite actions. There should be no problem holding the .25-35. I have seen a Martini in .219 Donaldson Wasp.
